Morgen

A self-titled album from 1969 from the band, Morgen. 

A person I follow on Twitter and whose 'now playing' choices I've come to admire and trust for quality, posted this a week or so ago. Psychedelic Rock. I listened to a few song samples and knew that I needed it to increase the coolness factor of my collection. 

And just another example of every time I start to assume that I'd at least heard of every band and musician of significance in the music scene from the 1960's, 70 and 80's, I'm once again proven wrong. 

Hopefully, it's not the last time that I'm wrong.

Thirteenth Floor Elevators

Groovy, hip and far out 1960's Psychedelic Rock.

Stumbled across the four disc/album box set in my local record store. The Monday/Tuesday evening store guy told me that he had his eyes on it for some time. Well you should have snapped it up, I thought. I felt a little badly for taking something he may have wanted but I'm over it now. Music collecting can be ruthless at times.

He informed me that the individual vinyls are difficult to find.

Safe As Milk

A recent (three days ago) vinyl find. A reissue of the original from 1967 yet new sounds to my ears. Psychedelic and Blues Rock. Captain Beefheart was Don Van Vliet.

It boggles my mind to think these sounds were made over half a century ago.

Ry Cooder was a guitar player for Captain Beefheart. But this sounds nothing like modern day Ry Cooder. Nor 1970's Ry Cooder.

I wouldn't say the music sounds "Safe As Milk."

I've developed a liking in the past two or three years for 1960's Psychedelic Rock and I think of these records from that era as being treasured and valuable historical documents. It would be wrong to let any sounds fade away.
